# SETUP

(better documentation coming soon)

this game is run entirely on the command line. i built it on debian, and i
assume it will work okay on any unix-based system, assuming the above
requirements are met. it has been roughly tested on macos. i do not have access
to windows at the moment, and i don't have any immediate plans to test windows
compatibility.

(if you are a windows user, you are welcome to try this and report back)

to install, first clone this repo. then change to the repo directory and run the
command:

`pip install .`

then run `tama` to begin.

the first run will initialize a directory at `~/.tama` for game data.

# FUTURE IDEAS

* combat simulation
* moods
* growth
* breeding

# HISTORY/CREDITS

* inspired by some side commentary from angelica at solarpunk magic computer
  club summer 2020
* roughly taking place in the same universe as #txtmines

# CONTRIBS

this is mostly a project by endo, with thanks to SMCC for a cool environment to
occasionally work in.

i am not currently open for collaboration, but i will amend this text with my
expectations/guidelines if that changes.
